Question

& Draw a line segment AB=9cm. Using ruler and compasses, obtain a line segment of
langt AB​

Answer 1

Steps of construction:

1. Draw a line segment AB=9cm

2. Make any acute angle at A.

3. Starting from A as centre and any convenient radius set off three equal distances.

4. Join the third arc to B.

5. Then we draw line segments parallel to EB.

Hence AC=CD=BD=3 cm each.
